BUYCOTTS...Actualizing Who We Say We Are

Okay, so I'm unhappy that my beautiful, spirit of unconditional love, animal was killed...poisoned. So where do we go from here?

A few ideas:

1/ Let's stop complaining about what the big corporations do in order to make PROFIT (the God they worship). They aren't going to change. And, at the end of the day, it's about US. (read Miguel Ruiz' Four Agreements: http://www.miguelruiz.com

2/ Let's BEGIN TO BUY LOCALLY - REMEMBER: DO YOUR OWN RESEARCH. Don't depend on others to do anything. It's like believing that if you give away your Freedoms that 'someone' 'out there' in 'government' is going to protect you from 'terrorists' - PLEASE LET'S GET REAL!!! Think about your own house...if someone wants in, what are you going to do to stop them? Gotta gun? Okay, fine. What if there are several folks breaking in, also with guns? And you're fast asleep when they break in...Let's BE REAL! No one can protect you but you. No one can be informed about your life but you. so, do your research on what's available in your area and BUY FROM THEM!

3/ It's a waste of time to boycott. They laugh at us. What 'they' don't laugh at is this:

SPEND YOUR MONEY BUYING THE THINGS THAT WORK FOR YOUR BODY, YOUR LIFE, YOUR KIDS' LIVES, YOUR PETS' LIVES, ETC.

IF YOU SPEND ENOUGH RESEARCH AND MONEY IN BUYING THE THINGS AND PRODUCTS THAT BRING YOU A/HEALTH B/AWARENESS C/EFFICIENCY D/ENVIRONMENT SAVING TOOLS, THEN.....

Just like Wal-mart is now stocking ORGANIC FOODS! - So, too, Big Business will FINALLY get the idea that they can make a profit from DOING IT RIGHT!!! DOING WHAT REALLY WORKS FOR EVERYONE!!! ('Everyone' would include US, yes?)

Let's stop being a victim/woe is me/it's someone else's fault Society and stand up like men and women who came from the Founding Radical Fathers of this great Country and say....

**************ENOUGH ALREADY!!!*******************

We are going to buy from:Paul Newman: www.newmansownorganics.com

We are going to research on sites like:Organic Consumers Association (a little outfit with a big message, out of Minnesota - a most progressive State, I have to say...) www.organicconsumers.org

We might even listen - now, after our beloved pets have been poisoned by those who care little for anything other than PROFIT - to: www.peta.com - DON'T BE AFRAID TO FIND OUT WHAT'S REALLY IN YOUR FOOD!!!

We are going to buy LOCAL - DO OUR RESEARCH & FIND THOSE FOLKS WHO LIVE AND WORK NEAR US & TRY HARD TO DO WHAT WORKS FOR ALL OF US!

In the next few days, I'll be posting different sites that deal, insofar as I am able to tell from my own research, fairly...organically...honestly...and with a realization that if we fail, we fail together...and when we succeed, we succeed as ONE.

Wow. New Idea? Hardly. As someone with a Christian background, in this Season of Christ, the RADICAL JESUS said things other than about Gay Marriage and Abortion (did he really talk about those things in the RED PRINT?):

- INASMUCH AS YOU DO IT TO THE LEAST OF THESE, YOU DO IT TO ME.- BLESSED ARE THE PEACEMAKERS (One of the most difficult things to do. Not for a Wuss - probably why most of us prefer to sit back and let folks kill each other.)

- WE ARE ONE WITH GOD...AND ONE WITH EACH OTHER.

So, enough for this night...may your day tomorrow be filled with Blessings and Belly Laughs...and opportunities in Abundance to pass them forward.Peace, Courageous co-creation of ONEness - and dancing with Wild Abandon & Joy, by any body of water you may be near.
